Hello friends! I’ve been itching to start a new 6×6 video, but life stuff keeps interfering. I was also experiencing some technical issues last week and wanted to make sure everything looked good before starting. My 6×6 videos are HUGE and really test my computer and editing programs.
I chose to use Echo Park’s Bee Happy collection. I purchased the 6×6 paper pad and 4 of the coordinating 12×12 sheets. I love the cheerful designs with all the bees and florals. Perfect for summertime cards.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 33 cards.
Here is the cardstock I pulled before starting on the 6×6 paper pad. I always pull out way more cardstock than I ever use. I list the brands and colors if I have the information. Some of my cardstock has been in my craft room for many, many years.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 19 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 4 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
White shimmer – Amazon
Black – Recollections
Daisy – Bazzill
Fern – Coredinations
Green Briar – Bazzill
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All my cards are American standard A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Echo Park’s Bee Happy 6×6 paper pad and a few 12×12 sheets from the collection.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support! 💗
What a fun collection of cards. Great theme, too. Bees seem to be having a big moment in the crafty world. I really like this paper pad and the cards you made from it. So bright and happy, yet not over the top. Great job, Kristie!
Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful cards, and for inspiring and teaching all of us. I hope the rest of the year brings you peace and joy.
Personally I enjoy the 10 card new collection videos that you talk us through your techniques and designs.
Your videos are a bright spot in my day.
Thank you again.
Such a bright and sunny set of cards. Missing the warmth at the moment – can not wait for Spring.
What cute cards–I love the bee theme. My fav was FMS 400. There’s just something so cheerful about it—it makes me smile. 🙂 Take whatever time you need. We will still be here.
You have the best sentiment stamps and dies!! All those Hellos and the Jaded Blossom Happy birthday…
I like your mix of videos, though the 6 x 6 pads are my favorites, especially because you use such great collections and you seem to enjoy using all your different crafty supplies.
Thank you!!
